The Times Union has apparently re-
considered its determination to put
spoke in the wheels of Government and
stop the National machinery until the
President has given heed to the course of
the postmaster of Palatka. The collec
ton of that ''copious assortment of ar
ticles from THE PALATKA News for the
Presidential consideration, has probably
been suspended. The tn. S copy of The
PALATKA NEWS will pass from hand to
hand unmutilated, except where clean
cut holes show where valuable items of
news have been clipped out, and our pa
per will be in good condition for editorial
study
The tn gives signs of breaking forth
in a series of articles upon the Presidents
order. 1t might profitably study up the
case of Benton in Missouri. and Stone in
Pennsylvania. Benton, Democrat and
an office holder. took part in politics as a
private citizen, both in the choice of a
candidate and in the subsequent cam
paign, stamping the State. Stone, also
an office holder, took the stump and,
being Republican, bitterly attacked
the administration under which he
was conducting his duties. Both
were suspended. The President, after
examining into the merits OF the
cases. decided that Benton had not dis
obeyed the prohibitions of the order, in
asmuch as he had not used his official
power in any way To further his political
aims, nor in any way diminished the eff
| ficiency of his office or the fairness of its
administration. Benton was reinstated,
while Stone, who was doing all in his
power To throw discredit on the admin
| removed.
The Postmaster of Palatka can. there
| fore, heed the President and the genial
| editor of the Jacksonville Herald ut the
same time, if ne chooses, and give but
cold comfort to- the tn. in doing it. The
onus prooaHdi is upon the t.-u's. editor to
show the authorship of the articles. and
to prove that they are without the limits
of the order. although, it may be said
frankly, there is no disposition here Il

1t is to be hoped that the Board of
Trade, in considering the needs of the
city, will include that of good school
house. A few weeks ago an expert ma
chinist. in Northern city, was offered a
good situation here, his technical knowl-
edge being in demand. He had been in
Palatka, and at once wrote To inquire
what the facilities for educating his two
children were. The answer not being
satisfactory he declined to come. al
though the offer was tempting one. \
good parent will be apt. when weighing
the advantages of a new place of abode,
to consider very early the opportunities
afforded of educating his children with
out removing them from the influence
of home.
The capitalist, as well as the casual
tourist, is apt To judge of people by the
= attention paid To education. 1t would
be hard to find town of the size of Pa
: latka in a progressive community with
out two good brick school houses well
provided with teachers. Before the
Court House is built the intelligent set
tier in new land thinks of the church
and school house. When he wishes T.
improve the town the first thought is of
the school house. to enlarge or duplicate
it. He takes pride in showing it 10
strangers. The Academy" is often the
most conspicuous feature of growing
Western towns where progress" is the
watchword. No boom is permanent
that does not find one evidence i'll i'm,

To educate the young, To enable them
to grasp the knowledge with which the
Nineteenth Century teens and make il
their own, that they may be better citi
zens and be better enabled to perform
the various duties of life, is a sacred duty
which no community can shirk without
falling into decadence. The children are
here. They triH grow up if death does
not prevent. They must become meI
and women. The community in which
they live is largely responsible if they dC
not become worthy citizens. The schoo
house is cheaper than the reformatory
The children are here. They have
rights which must be regarded or in the
memorable course of Nature the in Justice
done them will react with increased VIC

small, weak, unconscious of their high
est needs, but justice reigns and the
community which is regardless of the
rights of the smallest and weakest oi
its members, though only an infant in
arms, will be overtaken by the lash OF
mob violence, the poison of idle, cor
rupted youth, the paralysis of decadence
and slow oblivion.
Improve the city by all means. Give
US better streets-we need them. Let us
have sewerage-it is an imperative ne
cessity. Let us have better wharves-
we cannot grow without them But let
1t be remembered that there is a genera.
ton following that now in the field OF
business activity; a generation. not only
of living bodies, but also of minds OF
which the law is activity; of minds
which must be taught what is good Il

Statistics of Iron and Steel Produc-

CHARLESTON, S. c.. Jan. 1.-The News
and Courier publishes an elaborate review
of the agricultural and industrial depart
ment of South Carolina during the past
year. In an editorial analysis it says:
The manufactures and results are magical
and marvellous. The number OF manufac-
tories in the state has advanced from 1890, in
1860 to 3,262, in 1856. The capital invested
has increased from $685. 5S to SCI, 527, 970
The number Of hands employed is 49,
357, in 1886, against 6,906. in 1860.
The value of the products is S29, $751;
551. The cotton mills now employ
1859 persons. 1t is estimated that the value
OF the agricultural and garden products OF
1885 was S44, 109,50l, and the value of the
corn alone was nearly half the value of the
cotton crop. There is food for thought in
this, and there is still more in the table which
gives the gross value per acre of the princi-
pal crops in the state. Cotton is no longer
king, at least in South Carolina. Irish pota-
toes lead the list with a value OF SIS per acre
as against Sl2 for cotton. The income of the
people of the state from agricultural prod
uctS, the products in different branches of
manufactures, and from the mines and quar-
rles amounts to 50 per cent. more than in
1860, when the slave system was supposed to
make the state so prosperous.

began with the presentation by Assistant
Secretary Adee and Chief Clerk Brown of
the diplomatic corps, which was headed by
the dean, Mr. Preston. the Haytian minis
ter. The president stood without support,
and greeted every person in the line with a
smile and a cordial shake of the hand.
Passing on, the guests were received by
Mrs. Cleveland with a graceful yet dignified
welcome and extended hand. The ladies
! of the cabinet ministers also had smile
and bow in answer to every greeting. After
the members of the diplomatic corps had
exchanged the Fluctuations Of the season
with the president and the ladies assisting
| in the reception, many of them passed
around in the rear of the line and chatted
! for few minutes with the members of the
| cabinet and other officials who stood
in the south end of the blue parlor. The
| justices of the supreme court next paid

respects to the president and party. They
were followed by about 125 army officers,
headed by 1t. Gen. Sheridan and ex-Judge

partmental officers and bureau chiefs were
received. Following, came the veterans of

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The President Able TO Receive--A
Throng of Callers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA disagreeable
day ushered in the new year. A cold driz-
zling rain was falling. The sky was dark
and the streets deep with sluSh. Notwith-
standing the unfavorable weather. however,
the day was generally observed by sus-
pension Of business and social calling. Be-
fore noon the rain ceased and the day
frightened somewhat. At the White house
all OF the preparations for the public recep-
ton were completed last night. There was
no special effort to secure decorative effects,
and flowers and palms constituted the only
emblemS of the interior. The Railways
and the east room were in their usual New
Years attire, with garlands and festoons of
smiIaX Suspended from the crystal chande
liers. and gilden and silvered wicker pots
containing palms and tropical plants filling
every niche and covering the mantels.
The blue parlor, were the reception
took place. was lavishly decorated
with great banks of cut flowers and
nodding palms. The light from numerous
gas Jets mellowed the daylight that found
its way through the partly drawn curtains.
The Marine band was stationed in the main
hall. and discourSed strains of popular
music during the ceremonies. On either
side of the entrance to the mansion stood a
file of police in dress uniform. A few min
utes after II o'clock the Marine band began
to play Hail to the Chief" and the pres
dental party came through the central hall
and passed into the blue parlor. President
Cleveland led the party with Mrs. Manning
on his arm. He was in full dress and
walked without perceptible hindrance, al
though his gate was slow.
